By Aaron Humes: There is widespread relief that Alcalde Marcus Canti of Indian Creek, Toledo District, is back safe, but tonight, he is in police’s hands as they seek to solve the mystery of his apparent forced disappearance earlier this week and subsequent reappearance.
Police today confirmed several people have been detained and questioned, but no charges have been filed so far, pending Canti’s official statement. In the meantime, additional officers have been deployed to help ease tensions in the village.
ACP Hilberto Romero, Head, National Crime Investigation Branch told reporters, “Yesterday, police went to Indian Creek where he was from. At a house in Indian Creek, he complained that he was in pain and had some small bruises. He was brought for medical attention and since that he has received treatment and now he’s [giving] his statement and that is being done at this time. We are carrying out a thorough investigation and so we’ll have all the facts when his statement is concluded today. So that is all I know at this time.”
ACP Romero said that of those initially held, some of whom complained of rough stuff from the cops, only one is still being questioned. He emphasized that so far police have made no conclusions as to what happened to Alcalde Canti.
